A Bizarre Plan For Gaza

(I am still busy with cleaning up issues related to recent move this blog had to make. Original output is thus low. Please bear with me.)

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced (announced some a new plan for Gaza which is, as Larry Johnson says, dead on arrival.

The whole plan, notably vague on details, is published here. It foresees that Hamas releases all hostages and dissolves itself and thereby gives up all leverage it has in exchange for a vague promise of future peace.

A new external government would be installed over Gaza. The people living there would have no say in it. MEE explains the structure of the bizarre proposal to ‘govern’ Gaza.

This plan will be going nowhere. Netanyahoo has already promised to break it. The genocide in Gaza is set to continue.

*** “Russia consistently supports and welcomes any efforts by US President Donald Trump to resolve the Middle East and wants his peace plan to be carried out, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters…” ***
 
Further confirmation that Putin is — effectively even if not actually — a closet kike?
Is (though unknown to most soldiers on either side) the war in Ukraine basically a holding and population-wiping  exercise till the Talmuddists and Kabbalists are ready to move in? 
That ulterior motive  would of course likewise apply to the “New Israel” Zionist regime in Kiev.
Via deception, gangsterism, financial fraudulence, corrupt laws, blatant violence and proxy-violence, consider how much of the world is already partly or totally under the thoroughly malign control of the self-appointed “Chosen”.

Trump’s so-called 21 points include the “de radicalization” of the victims of genocide but not the perpetrators, the release of all Israeli captives but only some Palestinian captives, the possible continuation of the murderous GHF scheme, colonial governance by a body established by the US in consultation with complicit European & Arab governments ( the Blair-Kushner plan), external control of economic development, the exclusion and disarming of Hamas and external control of all resistance factions to ensure they don’t resist the Israeli regime, a proxy foreign occupation force (“stabilization force”) set up by the US and collaborating Arab governments, and the US (co-perpetrator of the genocide) as the official mediator.   
 
No accountability for genocide, no dismantling of the criminal regime, no end to apartheid, no reparations for the victims, no self-determination. Just more colonial repression and Israeli impunity, guaranteed by the complicit US.

All this Palestine bla-bla-bla.  Just yapping noise by the impotent.
The ONLY way that this will be resolved is if a parent come in, and separates the kids. Punishes the bad actors, and teaches the rest of the children to behave.
We are waiting on you China.

For most of human civilization, China was the biggest, the baddest and the strongest nation. China has regained it’s global standing. We are waiting for you to come in and “clean up this mess” once and for all.
As far the USA is concerned, stop pretending that you matter. We all know that you are complicit in the genocide. So just stop thinking that the rest of us are stupid. We are not.

  • RE:  the U.S. needs to return to its Constitution
  • <<
  • Since the January 6 riot that followed the 2020 election, the Left has persistently attempted to paint the Right as particularly prone to mob action. But as the online response to the murder of Charlie Kirk demonstrates—with thousands of leftists openly celebrating the gory, public assassination of a young father—the vitriol that drives mob violence is endemic to American political discourse and a perpetual threat to order.
  • George Washington understood this all too well.
  • In August of 1786, a violent insurrection ripped through the peaceful Massachusetts countryside. After the end of the Revolutionary War, many American soldiers were caught in a vise, with debt collectors on one side and a government unable to make back pay on the other. A disgruntled former officer in the Continental Army named Daniel Shays led a violent rebellion aimed at breaking the vise at gunpoint.
  • “Commotions of this sort, like snow-balls, gather strength as they roll, if there is no opposition in the way to divide and crumble them,” George Washington wrote in a letter, striking a serene tone in the face of an insurrection.
  • James Madison was less forgiving: “In all very numerous assemblies, of whatever character composed, passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason. Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob,” he wrote in Federalist 55.
  • Inspired by the disorder of Shays’s Rebellion and seeking to rein in the excesses of democracy, lawmakers prompted the drafting of the Constitution, initiating what has sometimes been called an “experiment in ordered liberty.”
  • As they developed the structure of the new American government, the classically educated Founders picked up on ideas mediated through their knowledge of Aristotle, Cicero, John Locke, and Montesquieu, among other philosophers and rhetoricians. The Constitution’s mixed government (Executive/Judicial/Legislative) was explicitly designed to establish a political order that would take into consideration the interests of the people without yielding to mob rule at the expense of order.
  • Note this in particular: the Founders took for granted that powerful elites would necessarily be interested in upholding the regime from which they derived their authority.
  • Fellow citizens who persistently view their political opponents as enemies and existential threats cannot long exist in a shared political community. Without a populace capable of self-control, liberty becomes impossible. Under such conditions, the releasing of restraints never liberates—it only promotes mob-like behavior.  Our modern disorder runs deep.
  • Charlie Kirk, despite his relative political moderation and his persistent willingness to engage in attempts at persuasion, continues to be smeared by many as a “Nazi propagandist.” The willful refusal to distinguish between mostly run-of-the-mill American conservatism and the murderous foreign ideology known as Naziism is telling. The implication is not subtle: if you disagree with me, you are my enemy—and I am justified in cheering your murder.
  • A first heat-check of the U.S. Constitution came during the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 when a mob of 600 disgruntled residents laid siege to a federal tax collector in Bower Hill, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles south of modern-day Butler. With the blessing of the Supreme Court Chief Justice and Federalist co-author John Jay, President George Washington assembled troops to quash the rebellion.
  • “I have accordingly determined [to call the militia], feeling the deepest regret for the occasion, but withal the most solemn conviction that the essential interests of the Union demand it, that the very existence of government and the fundamental principles of social order are materially involved in the issue,” Washington wrote in a proclamation.Washington marched with thousands of state militiamen from Philadelphia toward the rebel haven of Western Pennsylvania. The insurrectionists surrendered without firing a shot.
  • Washington noted that, “The patriotism and firmness of all good citizens are seriously called upon, as occasions may require, to aid in the effectual suppression of so fatal a spirit.”
  • Our own era of political violence rolls on, with Charlie Kirk’s assassination being only the latest and most prominent example.  DJT seems to be channeling the essence of Washington’s mind-set in declaring antifa, for instance, as a terrorist organization. DJT seems to be riding out into the field just as Washington once did.
  • The Dems and left-leaning progressives see fascism or an authoritarian monarchy in DJT’s actions.  It is unclear, however, that he is doing something Washington himself would not have done.
  • Maybe it’s gratuitous to repeat what I typed-out above, but I’ll do so anyway: the Founders took for granted that powerful elites would necessarily be interested in upholding the regime from which they derived their authority.
  • Clinton indulged amply in this.  As did Bush, the shrub.  Ditto Obama.  So too of course DJT 1.0.  Also Collective Biden.  And now here, once again, DJT 2.0
  • There is something quintessentially American in how DJT is conducting affairs.
  • Quintessentially American doings are not nefarious just because DJT is partaking of them.

I wonder if there will be human skin lampshades in the apartments, Eva Braun-style.

It surely goes without saying that any so-called peace plan that does not include Hamas – the legitimate political authority representing Palestinians in Gaza since 2006, when voters there voted for Hamas and Israel then decided there would be no more elections in that territory – and which does include Tony Blair (among odious others) as a member of a Board of Peace overseeing development in Gaza, is not worth shredding and using as kitty litter. 
Why Donald Trump should pluck Bliar out of the blue as a potential despot likely to stuff more moolah into his pockets than put it into Gaza’s redevelopment surely deserves some investigation, if one can stand the sulfurous fumes emanating from the whole idea and Blair himself. Would this be another of Trump’s little jokes along with the one about Ukraine being able to reclaim all its 1991 borders with the support of the EU?

With over 400,000 Palestinians dead, and more than likely 400,000 more maimed and missing, now the “deal” is total surrender or face an IDF mass slaughter of one million Palestinian civilians in Gaza City, just preposterous on every level.
The IDF war criminals now fully authorized by the Arab states, the UK, the US and the EU to murder all civilians in Gaza City if the rebels do not surrender en masse………
Again more delusional thinking, but totally consistent with Zionist plans for the extermination of a brave people.  Hamas was, like it or not, elected by the Palestinian people, not Tony Blair.
Hamas and PIJ and Fatah and PFLP continue to fight effectively in the urban ruins using asymmetrical warfare, they swim in the sea of the people, and no American smart bombs can defeat this type of popular rebellion.  Their ranks have not been reduced by losses more than made up with new recruits eager to fight the occupiers.  Sounds like Ireland 1916 to 1998.

I don’t support either Democrat or Republican they are both rotten as far as I am concerned. Nor do I vouch for Left or Right but a balance between both forces. It’s as much of a no brainer as saying that the left hand is as important as the right hand or the left hemisphere of the brain is as important as the right hemisphere. Balance between both forces or use of both parts of the body is what is required to get the best results. I have never been a member of a union, moreover self-employed in my own businesses most of my life. But I am never going to push one side of the political spectrum especially when it obvious what is going on here for Trump and the Right wing fascists. I could not give a toss about Right wing trending as it seems to be being pushed these days as if it is the answer to the world’ s problems. It’s just digging ordinary peoples’ graves for the elite neo-feudalists as far as I am concerned. 
 
Personally I’m sick of reading about Charlie being some sort of innocuous quasi-saint of a guy like most of the US Right wing are pushing including Trump and the Republicans. He wasn’t – the article I attached points out a few more details about his background and what he pushed for. He played with fire and divisiveness and he became a victim of it, but that does not endorse his death from my part either.
Out of this all I can see is the US Right wing going for broke on nonsense claims about a ‘radical’ Left even before the accused was found and arrested. Few people believe he was even involved now, nor the type of gun that was found as the weapon that killed him. it always looked like a false flag to me anyway. Those who are running in support of the Right on this are just doing Trump’s dirty work to turn the US into a dystopian state where only Donald and the radical Right’s views are allowed.

  • The die in that sense got cast during the Clinton era at least.
  • Regarding Palestine/Gaza, you’ve got to refer to Professor Mearshiemer’s indispensable tome The Israel Lobby, published in 2007.  It lays out everything one needs to know about how captured the U.S. government has become by Israel’s interests, beginning in the 1950s (now of course including radical Zionism.)
  • Every president since Jimmy Carter, if not before, has been beholden in characteristic ways to a small nation that appears to control the political class of a hegemonic empire.
  • It’s not as if anything in that dynamic was going to change w/ DJT.
  • More immediately, however, stateside, the assassination of Charlie Kirk has inspired enormous Narrative Shaping maneuvers.  Ordinary citizens who’d had no knowledge of Charlie’s work w/ Turning Point USA or any contact w/ his ideas may like to memory-hole the fact of his assassination.
  • But they can’t.

 Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
When asked about the Kremlin’s view of Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip, which was presented the day before, he replied: “Russia always supports and welcomes any steps by Trump that seek to avert the tragedy that is now unfolding.”
“We want this plan to be realized, so that it may help steer events in the Middle East toward a peaceful path,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

That’s Putin’s Russia for you. In the past they supported the ANC. Not now. Got to do big trade business with Trump’s America asap. 
 

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has said it welcomes US President Donald Trump’s “sincere and determined efforts” to achieve peace in Gaza, after Trump unveiled his roadmap to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. The Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, said in a statement on Tuesday that it has confidence in Trump’s ability to find a path toward peace in Gaza. Partnership with the US is essential in bringing stability to the region, it added.

It is a sick world alright. 
 

The Palestinian Authority joins regional leaders in welcoming US president’s 20-point peace plan to end war in Gaza.
Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, UAE
The foreign ministers of the above countries released a joint statement welcoming Trump’s “sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza, and assert their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace”.
“Along these lines, the ministers welcome the announcement by President Trump regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and advance a comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank,” the statement added.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan has hailed Trump for his efforts to broker a ceasefire.
“I commend US President Donald Trump’s efforts and leadership aimed at halting the bloodshed in Gaza and achieving a ceasefire,” Erdogan said in a statement.

Just hope somebody with a modicum of sense understands that demanding (not even asking for) surrender should always consider:
 

  • cost of the other side not accepting
  • end plan

For this, unfortunate situation the underwhelming gazans can only win drowning Israel in their blood. 
looks gruesome to western sensitivities but it’s par for the course on an historical perspective (god forgot to instruct the invading Israeli to exterminate the philistines 3200 years ago and then there was judges and things went sideways  until king Saul , but this time it’s dealt with .
 
Not cynical, just realistic (though I’m curious how they’ll sell it in the west, there’s a modicum of pretense that when abandoned lets anyone know things are going down the drain )

Of course, Hamas and PIJ killing hundreds of civilians and taking over 1000 hostages captive would surely go down as the most fucking dumbest thing any resistance movement has ever done in human history. They should all shot for this cruel idiocy and the payback their fellow Palestinians have been forced to endure without a say in what was supposedly done on “their behalf”. Fucking psychopathic religious extremists is Hamas … psycho murdering nutcases as bad as ISIS and Al Queda. 
Hama are far more disgusting than even the The Tokyo subway sarin attack was a domestic chemical terrorist attack perpetrated on 20 March 1995, in Tokyo, Japan, by members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult.
So fuck’em, but fuck America and Israel even more so, because they are much worse than Hamas and PIJ etc, who do deserve to be prosecuted in the Hague and or  banished ostracized forever by Muslims and all decent humans too.  Good to let off some steam though. TY 🙂

PS 
 Note that according to the brightest and best in this world, only Donald Trump has been the ONLY ONE in the whole world capable of coming up with a viable Gaza Peace Plan that is acceptable to the entire world. 
 
 Now, just stop  moment here and really think about what that truth is telling us all bout every other nation and political leader of this world.  
 
 Then let that sink in knowing its more likely that well over 250,000 people have been slaughtered in GAZA BY ISRAEL THE LAST TWO YEARS AND NO ONE HAS DONE DAMNED THING ABOUT THAT.

B, the problem in Gaza solution is post cease fire governance.  Israel will not accept either Hamas or Abbas.  At the same time, Hamas will not trust to disarm and leave its faith in the hands of its enemy.  If elections held, Hamas or something similar will surely win.
Reality based Solution.  Suggest and  Promote parliamentary monarchy with an acceptable monarch instead.  Amir of Qatar or another rich Gulf monarch can be the head, and in charge of military and police.  Palestinians can elect ministers to run and administer the rest of the government. 
Amir gets to invest in Palestine and have the extra money to rebuild and invest in the country and spread its influence.  Military will remain in the hands of a monarch that has something to lose and so like Jordan play along. Palestinians will be free to govern themselves less defense and armed police (or unarmed police like Britan) and be protected.  But then again I am sure there are smarter persons to solve this riddle.

I agree with all that, we are even coming to some consensus now.  What really concerns me is where Trump is taking this and it encroaches severely on the notion of people being arrested and intimidated in the US for thought crimes and terrorism well before they even show any evidence of  actually doing anything like such things. 
A comment maker called ‘fustyducker’ put of list of targets that Trump is focusing on on Larry Johnson’s site  couple of days go, and this list is very concerning with Trump since it is very obvious that he only supports a narrow range of fascist views that he wants people to accept. This flies right in the face of the the 1st Amendment, especially since he is now using the National Guard and potentially military forces to reign in those that he might think are not to his liking, especially anyone that seen to be on the Left :
Here it is:
“The fascist Trump regime isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but also individuals (like all YOU liberty-deluded miscreants!) and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indica” (indicators) of regime redefined “violence”:
* anti-Americanism,
* anti-capitalism,
* anti-Christianity,
* support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
* extremism on migration,
* extremism on race,
* extremism on gender
* hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
* hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
* hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.”
 
I think this comment was very good, but Trump’ s recent memorandum I linked above also should create shock waves in the US since it pretty much complies with this list.

  • “The war needs to end for the sake of Israel and its security. The horrors that it has inflicted in Gaza have contributed to a sharp decline of support for Israel  in the U.S. and elsewhere.  Any additional military gains against Hamas pale in comparison to the long-term strategic threats from global isolation,” per the nytimes Editorial Board on 30 September.
  • “Both the Trump administration,” the editorialists say, “and leading Arab governments have more leverage than they have used so far, and both have good reasons to insist on the war’s conclusion.”
  • Naturally, the nytimes did not fail to thrash DJT ar0und the head & neck during the opinion piece:  “For Mr. Trump, the continuation of the war has been an ongoing sign of weakness. He claimed that he could end it, and he has failed. Despite running a vastly larger and more powerful country, Mr. Trump often seems to defer to Mr. Netanyahu.”
  • Still, the nytimes Editorial Board rarely if ever puts wind in DJT’s sails, but now that DJT has released his 21-Point Peace Plan we’re seeing it :  “Ultimately, Mr. Trump may need to threaten Mr. Netanyahu with consequences. Quietly at first, the president could explain that the United States is losing its patience and will soon restrict American military aid unless the war stops and Mr. Netanyahu accepts a future of Palestinian governance.”
  • While scoffing for many years, even guffawing sometimes, at Russia’s intent to de-nazify Ukraine, the editorial board is bullish on the deradicalization of Gaza:  “Deradicalization programs succeeded in Germany and Japan after World War II, and multinational police forces have operated in Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and elsewhere.”
  • Note that liberal democracies in the West can see to the important task of deradicalizing troublemakers like Hamas, but when nations which fall outside of the rules-based-international-order move to engage like this, the editorialists rail against authoritarianism.
  • More than anything, though, the nytimes accepts DJT’s 21-Point Peace Plan straight-up, with no irony or cynical insouciance.  In other words, the nytimes is not skeptical of the Plan’s feasibility, as Larry Johnson, for instance, is.  The nytimes does not ponder what might be masked in the background while the Plan itself commands splashy center-stage attention in the foreground.  It’s not lost on me, for example, that the nytimes is in fact contributing a lot of center-stage attention to DJT’s Plan by virtue of their publishing an in-house editorial about it above-the-fold on the opinion pages.
  • But they do see perils ahead:  “Of course, these efforts come with dangers. Participating countries would risk having their personnel become targets for Hamas. But there are no risk-free solutions in Gaza.”
  • In light of this, it’s interesting that the nytimes has bigged-up DJT’s solution.

“the Founders took for granted that powerful elites would necessarily be interested in upholding the regime from which they derived their authority.”
Well I’m not sure that this view is relevant to today or justifies Trump or any other modern political elite’s position of privilege if they abuse or override the US constitution. I have always wondered whether those who formulated the US constitution including UK polymath John Locke did this in part because in their day only wealthy people had access to the levels of education that enabled them to understand the intricacies of the  law and actually establish and monitor such an endeavor. The majority of people at the time lacked even basic education.

  • RE:  Trump’s list of targets
  • <<
  • First, George, you’re right:  we’re finding consensus.
  • Second, FustyDucker has compiled a list of potentially targeted groups—the anti-Americanists, the anti-capitalists, etc, (you’ve listed them @ #144.)
  • Third, I’ll note that Collective Biden kept their own particularly manicured list.  When Joe took office, he immediately declared that white supremacists and antisemites posed the most critical threat to domestic peacefulness stateside, and he drew up strategies for addressing this.  He targeted anti-abortionists and animal welfare groups, especially those engaged in whistleblower-style actions against the meat industry.
  • Collective Biden persecuted other people & groups, too, even dragooning Big Tech to help, whether going after citizens who discussed medical information online or aired grievances against the state or probed Joe’s own questionable financial dealings w/ Ukraine and China.
  • It was a scary, unnerving period.
  • The presidents who came before DJT 2.0 bequeathed ultimately to DJT the precedents & permissions that have led us to this homegrown American moment.  How would it be possible to bamboozle the populace w/ state-created propaganda had Obama not revised in 2012 the Smith-Mundt Act of 1945-?  In important ways, Obama was preparing the ground for what we experienced under Collective Biden and now what is perhaps intensifying under DJT.  Each president embroiders on prior liberties—some would say abuses—even enlarging them.
  • Let me say it again:  the framers of the U.S. Constitution took for granted that powerful elites would necessarily be interested in upholding the regime from which they derived their authority.
  • DJT is engaging in a process that is typical of “powerful elites who wish to uphold the regime from which they derive their authority.”
  • As far as how any of this runs afoul of 1A, if & when, well—I trust SCOTUS.

I agree they have all been getting progressively worse in cracking down on US freedom of speech and causing division. I would add it goes back this millennium to George W. Bush after 9/11 as well.  Biden was appalling too and not much change in sight. What do you think the US people will do? Much of this turns around both the 1st and 2nd Amendments that could be triggered by supporters of either side of politics. There appears wide division being provoked in the US by politicians and media even though either party Democrat or Republican reflects a monoparty in essence, no matter how much play acting they do to make it appear they are different.

So, if the Nazis said to the French Resistance, do we have a deal for you –
Give up all your weapons, let us destroy all your defences, we will remain in total military control of France, you will leave, do as you are told or die.
And you can trust us to let you stay or leave safely if you wish and you can trust us to stop occupying your country and inflicting genocide. And you can trust us to do the right thing?
The French would have said what? Great plan or get fucked.
I suspect the latter so why would the Palestinian Resistance be any different.
What a friggin plan. Render yourself helpless and trust us to stop murdering you all and taking your country.I mean, why make it easy for the bastards to kill you? Surely any sane human would decide to fight to the death and hope to take as many of the bastards with them as possible.

Maybe it is more difficult for English-speakers to recognize what it is … but it is a global war on anything not WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant) and only an alternative internet can save us. Trump is acting in Palestine as a partner to N since he relies on the very same colonists who trained those sent by N’s US handlers.

The most intriguing element arising from the Parasite Statelet’s latest blunder is the emergence of China as a potential military defender of Palestinian sovereignty and independence. China is said to have delivered ~20 large cargo aircraft full of military goodies to Chinese ally, Iran.
 
The second most intriguing element of the latest Jew Plague blunder is why the self-worshipping Jews invited Iran into the Palestine debacle by launching an unprovoked attack on Iran’s infrastructure?
 
Iran has large stocks of hypersonic missiles – against which there is no practical defense. So if Iran is attacked again by the Parasite Statelet it will almost certainly be Gazafied – with Extreme Prejudice.
 
Imo, if Iran’s retalliation to a Jewish attack falters, China will threaten to intervene militarily on Iran’s behalf. And we’ll discover that AmeriKKKa wasn’t quite ready to cross swords with China, this year.

Repost:
On August 20, Reserve General Yitzhak Brik, wrote an article in the Haaretz newspaper, stating the following:
 
“Failure to follow orders, lack of oversight, and an inability to learn from mistakes remain common. Investigations lack credibility, and there is a culture of lies, low standards, and unprofessionalism. There is no operational discipline, and the high command fails to take responsibility. A conspiracy of silence prevails, along with a fear of expressing a different opinion for fear of personal harm. This outrageous behavior is deeply rooted in the DNA of the Israel Defense Forces.”
 
• “A total loss of trust on the part of combat soldiers and junior commanders in the IDF high command. This is reflected, among other things, in an extremely high percentage of reservists unwilling to serve and double-digit percentages of conscripts “fleeing” the war due to serious mental health problems, exhaustion, and lack of trust in their commanders. The ground army is crumbling in every way.”
 
• “Loss of professionalism due to a lack of education and training.”
 
• “A desperate shortage of professionals to maintain armored vehicles and weapons as a result of the elimination of thousands of professional non-commissioned officer and officer positions and the transfer of maintenance to civilian companies incapable of carrying out the task.”
 
• “A severe shortage of conscripts in the standing army as a result of thousands of war casualties and the inability to recruit others to replace them.”
 
• “A desperate shortage of reservists, who are voting with their feet and simply not responding to mobilization orders.”
 
• “Privatization of logistics through outsourcing to civilian companies that cannot meet the needs of a war.”
 
• “A severe personnel crisis in the reserve, conscription, and career service, one of the worst in the history of the IDF. The best career soldiers are leaving en masse, and young people are reluctant to enlist due to their deep disappointment with what has happened in recent years. It is a tragedy that the IDF is losing all its quality personnel at a dizzying rate; the consequences are disastrous.”

And I have read some people write on these pages and elsewhere that ethics don’t matter, winning is the only important thing.
But if such murderous genocidal behaviour did  not impact on the conscience and psyche of individuals, people who are even trained to shoot and kill, then why would there be such a reaction in the IDF?

We now find that Zionists (Netanyahu) did not really expect Iran to make nuclear bombs for the next 5-10 YEARS. The operation, was to kill the leaders, all of them, to install “regime change” via agents in place (and I think with some help from the “reformists”?).
However, there has been a massive breakthrough for Iranian intelligence, which has made the Zionists think of “use it or lose it” for all their Infrastructure in occupied Palestine and possibly what remains of their Mossad and other rebel groups in Iran. Even the UN has said that there have been many executions in Iran! So the hardliners must be in total control at the moment.
 
One thing is not so sure is; is their buildup ALSO going to take on the Houthi Governement at the same time?
 
Secondly, they will try to use an attack, or the potential of an attack on Iran, to try to divert attention from the Samud humanitarian flotilla. Which now is under a grave threat. The “text” claiming that “Hamas” is the organiser of the fleet, manages to confuse a photo of George Galloway with a) being Hamas, and b) being on a photo (of someone else) on the fleet. ie masssive lying again.

UEFA delays vote to suspend ‘Israel’ after US introduces Gaza deal   
 
UEFA delayed a vote on suspending “Israel’s” membership after US President Donald Trump announced a Gaza ceasefire plan and met with Prime Minister Netanyahu.   
 
…..A group of eight independent UN human rights experts had been calling on FIFA and UEFA to suspend “Israel” from international football competitions over accusations of genocide in Gaza.
In a joint statement, the experts declared, “Sports must reject the perception that it is business as usual. National teams representing States that commit massive human rights violations can and should be suspended.”……..

There are no hostages, all who couldn’t be extracted easily were/will be killed per Hannibal doctrine. The ‘deal’ and ‘Hamas’ not accepting it and ‘unreleased hostages’ are just excuses to continue genocide without interference. A lot of idiots and lackeys across the world seem to be falling for it.

There is only one way to solve the riddle and that is to eradicate Israel. Ban Zionism, ship most Israelis back to where they came from and allow any sane Israelis  who wish to remain as Palestinians to do so.Hand Dimona over to the IAEA and bring in UN peacekeepers to manage any former Israelis who cannot act like normal human beings.Israelis in the main are psychopathic, psychotic, narcissistic, deranged lunatics who cannot function like sane human beings. Israel has been a cult for 77 years and until Israelis are de-programmed they are incapable of reason and normal function.It is not possible to have peace, or any sort of solution while Israel exists.

Many people blame various countries like the Arab states for not doing anything for the Palestinians, but the point is that without the powerful backing of successive US administrations that talk one way yet do the very opposite with permanent support of military aid for Israel that is the real elephant in the room. To stop what we see and has been going on for years means excising this cancer from US governments and congress who not only give and sell weapons to Israel, but act as we just saw against Iran in Israel’s defence, and could be very well planning again to do exactly the same once again in the near future. I would also say this was a major motivator for the war in Iraq as well.
Sure, much of the West is unacceptably behind that support, but it is clear that it is primarily the US against the will of many of its people that is the major supporter with weapons and continued support for Netanyahu and many previous Israeli leaders like ‘the butcher ‘ Sharon, that is the real problem here.

A liitle late to this puss up but ho! Let’s go. 
Steele_porcupine, dodger. George et al.
There is NO left/right -it has ALWAYS been Above/ Below – Few/Many as the poet wrote.
(I might return to that last later)
“The willful refusal to distinguish between mostly run-of-the-mill American conservatism and the murderous foreign ideology known as Naziism is telling.”
 
“the classically educated Founders picked up on ideas mediated through their knowledge of Aristotle, Cicero, John Locke, and Montesquieu, among other philosophers and rhetoricians.”
 
“particular: the Founders took for granted that powerful elites would necessarily be interested in upholding the regime from which they derived their authority.”
———
 
Interesting screed steel_porcupine ( and others responding) – but perhaps you are failing to note fully the line you draw between the ‘classically educated Founders’ and ALL Fascism through the millenia of Eurocentric ’history’ includes DJT.
 
 
I do agree there is no difference between George Washington and this current potus as naziofascist creatures of the Shapeshiftet Old Dynastic Bastards.
 
That direct line via the neo Roman Empire to the current declining and falling daily faster evolution of it – the supposed unipolar superpower mighty USof’Antisemites’ that is actually owned by and for the Classical Founder Zionists in all their shapeshifter forms.
 
When you have Larry Ellison being handed TikTok having had the Executive grab it out of the hands of its owners like candy from a child ;
 
When you have Abrams crowing about how Venezuela has been degraded continually since it stood up in a revolutionary act of independence from the machinations of his dynastic imperialist USain oligarchy.
 
And don’t forget that Drumpff is now part of the ‘blood’ with his daughter married and grandkids with Kushner and his Abraham Accords!
 
Where is the difference between now and then? the Founders (mostly very young tyros and Washington (their 40 year old hired mercenary leading the ‘revolution’.
 
Isn’t it obvious they were financed and directed by the real powers of that era?
 
“Washington marched with thousands of state militiamen from Philadelphia toward the rebel haven of Western Pennsylvania.”
 

  • I could go into detail but this ain’t the place for it – just consider that the disagreement between Pennsylvania and Philadelphia might be a bit of dynastic squabbling and the enforcer was sent to settle it!
  • Want a clue? Who are the two states named for after all.
  • Who had the Mason Dixon Line drawn? When?

 
That hidden history which never recorded any of the shapeshifter dynasties which clearly financed the invasion of the Americas (all of it – Canada to Tierra del Fuego) for centuries, just doesn’t seem to appear in the UScentric fictional popular history !
 
As it very physically does in the architecture of DC and in the very flag of Union – that of the East India Company! Both the original Dutch and then shapeshifted to English.
A supranational entity before most nation states ever came into being.
 
This continuing failure to acknowledge that the US as much as any other Anglo European nation state and ensuing imperial colonisations of which the US is a culmination.
 
The illegal apartheid entity that would not exist now, would not even have come into existence and would not now be attempting a further imperialist colonial expansion – without the US Fed in WW1 and US (Mrs FDR) setup UN, at the end of ‘their’ defeat in WW2.
Or without the ensuing massive US miltary (natzio) presence and wars in West Asia for a century.
 
The Seven Sisters which were One entity, it’s owners never gave its grip up. Not since the EIC, nor before when they started Shapeshifting, nor before that even whenthey established the Holy Roman Empire and created a religion for slaves that would keep them mentally chained!
 
They kill ostentatiously especially ANY who they have raised to be their puppets who then decided they will no longer be fooled any further and will stand against the generations of the Old Bastards Dynastic ambitions.
 
The Truth hits hard – it’s not the first time, a few of the English literatures great propagandists too, learned a little too late who they were really working for ! And they too were disposed off and their final works dissolved not publicly known.
 
The Nazis and Fascist are the USA –  they are the pinnacle – neither the Bolsheviks nor Nazis , Lenin and Hitler would have existed and come to the fore without the might of the neoroman fascist colonial empire and power of the US and it’s ancient Owners.
 
The USA is like many, a fake state, as it’s offspring the illegal Entity.
 
They are yet unwilling to admit their Final defeat – having No Reverse Gear – so we (the majority of humanity) gets more fascist Nazi scumbaggery instead.  The mincer in Ukraine and attempts in Caucuses and Venezuela and in the Levant – there is nothing new in the genocide and ethnic cleansing and land grabbing under psycho CEOs…
 
It is as always Tyranny. Fascism. Nazism as it was with the Roman Empire.
 
Sorry, there is NOTHING new and fresh about the USA. It will never make its 300 birthday let alone celebrate its 250th.  Because it too was an artificial creation – a Frankenstein’s Monster – that is the real story of Mary Shelly and the poets ( I said I might come back to it!) – they who realised and knew  who the real monster and its creators were.
The clues are in the two words. Frankenstein Monster.
 
It’s a shame for us Wasters, how much such reality is still obscured and anytime anyone can achieve enough power to challenge the Great Lie they are cut down – including JFK and now Kirk. It’s not Left/Right because it never was. There is no such thing. Get it?
 
Any future challenger should prepare better – like VVP did, like Castro did, like Gandhi did and many other REAL revolutionaries did. Many assassinated some brutally to make it clear to the others if they went down the same track. Off piste as it were.
 
In the meantime the lala landers unipolar world is dead and all they can do is throw their own shit at everyone and everything in a dirty filthy rage – an all out attack on the Levant, an attack on ancient Persia, attempt to retake the conquistador lands they long took for granted.
 
As they prepare to shapeshift away to cause future misery for the majority of humanity from what’s left of their naziofascist conquests – the 4 Eyes plus 1 entity.
 
The first Eye? – now the multiethnic  multipolar ready, U.K. is thankfully, soon to boot them out after their thousand year rampage and fake history. Hence the desperat shit throwing by both left/right muppets to incite xenophobia – too late – we are evolved and we don’t buy the shit. Yes there are a few isolated throwbacks in their garrison towns and backwaters that have never been to a big city or town and seen the reality of British internationalism.
 
We are not having it and her starmztrooper and his dead eyed master Blair the neo Rhodes looking for ever greater glory and dynastic seat at the Top Table and the FartRage – the whole scummy Crown State and it medieval shapeshifter aristos … they can go hang!
 
WE the Many are not letting Them the Few have any more generations of us sacrificed.
 
Death to the IoF
Decolonisation and dissolution of the illegal entity.

While OT for a Palestine thread, I’d like to post a comment that I made elsewhere regarding the subject of Madagascar:
 
“I went there in 2000.I was told at the time that endemic corruption was the norm among the political class. Similar to SA under Zuma, where the upper echelons of power build vast estates on the public purse, and leave the poor without even basic services.I’d hazard a guess that little has changed in 25 years, so I can understand the people’s frustrations being at boiling point.On the other hand, the cynical side of me always suspects western spook agencies and their cutouts whenever I see political unrest erupting around the globe.In the meantime, I’ll just cross my fingers and hope that the Madagascan people find a way to improve their circumstances without causing even more suffering.”

IMO, Bauer’s religious state deals with situation that has changed. After WWI, the British recognized they needed to infiltrate and take control of Palestine, and to establish a state with sovereign powers in order to impose their authority over British mandate Palestine. It was Hertzl in 1897 that kicked off the campaign it was not until 1917 that they could effect the Bolshevik revolution after that many things happened.
IMO, the Jewish Question no longer relates to religious issues (few care what religion the Jewish person adopts). The British solved the Jewish problem (Christian vs Judaism) by designing important biblical references into a propaganda that sought to take over over and dominate what was post WWII British owned Palestinian-dominated Palestine. Its propaganda incorporates religious history (Mt. Sinai, etc, the Birthplace of just about everything ) so people with different religious ideas could subscribe.
That ideology was designed to establish monopoly power for British  and allied interest in Palestine. The ideology drove the Jewish exodus from Hungary, Poland, Russia, Austria. Hungry and Germany to populate by immigration the old Ottoman empire (now British Mandate Palestine) was the goal. The modern Jewish person has resolved his legal and political isolation by transforming the public part of his religion into a propaganda machine capable to establish monopoly power over domestic masses. It worked in Palestine why wouldn’t it work everywhere?
These are my understandings .. please correct me if I am wrong.

You argue there is no Left or Right, and in some ways that is true or confused in today’s interpretations, but it was simply a description that arose in France out of two sides of parliament with one pushing a vertical model of governance and distribution of wealth and power and the other a more flat model in terms of governance of sharing more equally wealth and power which is what the current lie of democracy is supposed to be about. Liberty, egality, and fraternity.
But what doesn’t quite work in your argument is that you give examples of the struggle that has always existed between two opposing views or forces, one which seeks to dominate and control for wealth and power, and the other that seeks a greater expression of equality for sharing the wealth and power across all levels – just like in the original descriptions of Left and Right. We see this in the world today between Western countries and BRICS countries as well. Even if you study animals you’ll find that research has shown many know when one animal of the same species is getting a better deal and the other is getting the rough end of a stick, so it could even be part of our genetic make up. This fight has been going on for thousands of years, but in my view we will continue to push for a fairer more balanced expression of power and wealth as many people on these pages are arguing for as well, I think even including yourself. This is why people find what they see going on in Palestine for example as repulsive, and why they want to see change.
Much has in fact changed over the centuries in any case, otherwise we’d all be still working as slaves for the feudalistic system of serfs and barons, or rowing some boat for some despot as a slave, yet that is what some would still like to inflict on us now.  It seems that whatever way we express this situation we strive to get handles of meaning to express this polar tendency and continued seeking for balance and if we do nothing then that means we might as well sit down and do nothing since there is no point in the struggle in the least. 
One interesting thing is that currently two of the countries that are pushing for change have experimented with extreme Left Marxist-communist views such as China and Russia and reintroduced capitalism which is more Right of centre in my opinion. Perhaps this is why they are doing better and leading the charge to a multipolar win-win world.  The US and much of the European West by comparison still push vertical control yet its people are far from contented under the current circumstances. The US also still pushes for monopolarity and hegemony, and taking the cream for its elites, while Russia and China don’t. Neither do many countries in the Global South that had a gutful of being exploited by Imperialism and colonialism  and the fascism and injustice that often comes with it.

Whatever they tried, it did not fully work as they expected. But Iran did not correctly adjust their response, probably afraid of getting nuked, and the result is that they’ve highly increased their chances of getting nuked. Exactly like their dumb Brics partners.  Now with Putin being offended because Iran allegedly did not want him to build a “defense system” and said he won’t even sell them what he sold to Nato, everyone knows Iran will not get supplies from anyone. Free trade is free trade only if Bibi approves. And if they already have all the weapons in the right place, why limit themselves to Iran and not include Yemen too? I’m sure Tulsi asks for it since the last time she asked for it and it’ll be great for Trumpy’s propaganda too.

@gazanewsnow2021
Kan Channel: Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey are simultaneously pressuring the Hamas leadership to accept the proposal presented by US President Donald Trump to stop the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Comment: Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, instead of using all they’ve got to advocate against and reject Trump’s “plan”, doing all they can to stop the genocide and feed the Palestinians, are forcing Hamas to accept total occupation of Palestine, to give up all inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and agree to its colonial servitude and to disarm leaving the Palestinians unarmed in the face of a genocidal, terrorist state which is attacking not only Gaza and the WB but also numerous countries in the region.
Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey (and others no doubt),  instead of tirelessly urging the world to do all it can, and it can do a lot,  to stop the genocide and the terrorist, expansionist march of US/Israel in the region, are wringing the arm of Hamas to accept responsibility for the genocide and for and alleged ending of the genocide !
What a perfidious inversion ! What an  abhorrent attempt  to shed own responsibility, and that of their overlord, US/Israel, for the decades-long and  current crimes and injustice against the Palestinian people.

Seems like you and I are arguing about the same thing. What I express as a polarity between two opposing ways of operating with Left and Right definitely earned the term literally from the two sides of French parliament during French 1790s revolution times, yet I would agree that such notions most certainly existed before that description came about. There have been revolts and revolutions going on for many centuries well before those terms were implemented. The struggle continues using whatever terms anyone seeks to use for the description. The only difference between what you and I argue is that you claim nothing ever really changes that could conclude things have become better and fairer for many people over time, and I disagree with that premise. Of course there are different periods of time when we make steps forward and other times when we make steps back but I would still argue that over time things get fairer and better for a greater proportion of people, hence such things as the expansion of middle class (now under threat).  Now we are under serious attack from the elites because they also think they are threatened and must suppress the base of lesser paid workers again. That I agree doesn’t change in a dualistic and polar world of opposites, and will continue for perhaps thousands of years until we come to the conclusion that we all gain by not only looking after our own interests but also the interests of others as well. Something that  BRICS can be seen to be suggesting but the elites in the West see as anathema for them. Thanks for the debate. You are most welcome to your views even if they don’t necessarily accord with mine.

Putin is , it seems, a Zionist. 
However, Iran has always had a large Jewish diaspora,  who are comfortable with the Shi’a,  firm opposition to Zionism.
 
All Muslim Gulf States and other Muslim countries like Morocco appear to be led by Zionists, which for Muslim leaders is totally unacceptable. What has emerged in this genocide, is that the Sunni countries that hate Zionism have much in common with the Shi’a countries that hate Zionism.
This unification of the Muslim Ummah will very soon destroy Israel completely,  because Palestine has become the pagan totem pole of the Khazar , European , Fake Jew, Zionists.  La’anat Allahu alahim.

Do you have a reference for these claims of what Putin said? It is not inline with what is claimed he said on June 19th this year from anything I have been able to retrieve. On that day he was in St Petersburg and in communication with Xi Jinping via phone call where he offered to be part of brokering a peace deal between Iran and Israel. He and Xi Jinping condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran.

Regarding Russia’s attitude to Trump’s appropriated Plan – Mercouris recently claimed it was originally an Arab etc plan.
From a Foreign Ministry statement.

Question: What is Moscow’s position regarding Donald Trump’s plan to resolve the situation in Gaza, which was announced on Monday? How do you assess the proposal to establish temporary external governance with international participation and to form an international contingent for rapid deployment in Gaza? Has Moscow received any signals about the possibility of participating in this contingent? How do you evaluate the chances of success for this plan as a whole?
Sergey Lavrov: We have not seen this plan. We have only heard comments about its contents. You have now outlined its main provisions. I have heard that this international body, which is intended to “temporarily govern Gaza,” is planned to be headed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. He himself seems to have already announced this.
I reiterate, I am not privy to the details. I do not know what powers he will be granted, nor how the Arab countries view this. I am aware that some of them have already welcomed Donald Trump’s plan. However, a final assessment can only be made once we know the views of all of Palestine’s neighbours, Israel, the countries of the region, the League of Arab States, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and, above all, the Palestinians themselves. I have heard that representatives of the Palestinian National Authority are not being considered for inclusion in this temporary body, even as observers.
Regarding the international security forces. No, we have not been invited to participate. I reiterate, we only became aware of this new plan yesterday. However, I have read that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, commenting on Donald Trump’s plan – which was announced following Netanyahu’s visit to Washington – said that the plan is good and should not be altered. He claimed that Hamas and everyone else should agree to it. Among the positive aspects of this plan, he stated that Israel would retain control over security in Gaza. This somewhat contradicts the establishment of international forces, so all the details need to be clarified first.
